On Saturday it will be Pink Saturday at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/
. I thought I would do something crazy and special for the event! I happened to be at Big Lots and saw a HULA HOOP! I haven't done this except for may be once since the 50' or 60's. I figured this would be fun and it would be great exercise. So here is a 32 second video of my first attempts---wearing pink of course!!! (Ps. it is my 33 wedding anniversary on Friday June 18 so what better thing to do than to revert to childhood?????? See my post below for how we met!) After this video you will wonder why he married me!
Actually....he needed someone like me--someone to drive him crazy and to make him laugh. I do it without trying ;-)
After this video I just may move the furniture! Happy pink sat!
Oh and here is a funny song with hula hooping! It takes a few seconds to start!
Ps. I challenge those of you who are brave enough to go do thou likewise and let me know if you post a video!
My computer is down...so I am using a different one. I will watch that Amish Grace when it is back up. I read all of Beverly Lewis's books...do you?
ReplyDeleteLove the show you put on for us. That is suppose to be excellent exercise....guess I should try it.
Loved the story of how you met your husband....Happy Annv. by the way (o:
Very good. You have me beat for sure. And Happy 33rd to you folks!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary today! Hope you're having a great one.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I laughed inside and imagined myself doing this!! I did try recently when the girlies got hoops - not so good!

ReplyDeleteTHIS POST WAS MARVELOUS...YOU TRULY ARE ONE FUN LADY AND I THINK YOU HULA HOOP VERY WELL. I LAUGHED UNTIL I CRIED WHEN YOUR SWEET KITTY TOOK OFF OUT OF THE ROOM. THOSE WHO HAVE CATS UNDERSTAND ABOUT OUR CATS NOT WANTING TO HULA HOOP...LOL
THIS POST BROUGHT BACK SUCH SWEET MEMORIES OF MY DAUGHTER AMY. SHE WAS ONCE IN A HULA HOOP CONTEST WITH HER COUSIN TJ AND WE FIXED HER A SANDWICH TO EAT WHILE SHE HULA HOOPED OVER TWO HOURS...SHE WON HANDS DOWN...THAT GIRL LOVED TO HULA HOOP.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME REMEMBER A HYSTERICAL TIME ABOUT HER. GOD IS SO VERY GOOD US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
I LOVE YOUR BLOG.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
HAPPY FATHERS DAY WEEK END.

ReplyDeleteLoved both the Hula Hoop videos...congratulations on being able to still get one spinning! Thanks for the Pink Saturday visit....hape a Pink Week
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI used to love my hula hoop but I know I'd hurt something for sure if I were to try doing it now, LOL
You go, girl!!
xxoo
No way could I do that now. A ways back, yes, but no more. You did pretty good, but I noticed you scared the kitty.
ReplyDeleteYou GO girl! That little boy makes it look so easy. I haven't done it for years, I wonder if it's like riding a bike? What's up with the vacuum in that video? It looks ENORMOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday and have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Anniversary!! I've tried to do the hoola-hoop a few times whenever one of my kids or someone would have one but I've been very unsuccessful. Perhaps I should try again! Happy pink week and Happy Father's Day to your guys!

Happy Pink Saturday,

You rock girl!
ReplyDeleteHello Miss Nannykim! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour pink post made me smile today. You are one brave lady LOL I think I've tried hula hoop once when during elementary years and that was it. I never got the hang of it :-)
Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving me a beautiful message. I wasn't able to post my pink post that day (comp. probs). So I may be a day late, still determined to do the pink post LOL
Belated Happy Pink Saturday! And Happy Anniversary too! After all these years you still know how to have fun. :-)
Mizpah,

(oh, your header made me smile the first time. Too cute!)
Oh Kim, thank you so much for stopping by my blog, and thank you so much for posting this video, I needed to watch it this morning, I woke up full of fatigue and pain, and I needed a reason to smile..
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful blessed Day..
Barb
Memories and a perfect post for Pink Saturday. I, alas, am all to familiar with the hula hoop and poodle skirts and saddle shoes :-). I, my dear, am a walking tribute to the 50's. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteNo need to go to the gym after that! Thanks for sharing this video and congrats on your 33rd anniversary! Way to go nannykim!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your sweet visit! I am bummed cause my lap top is NOT showing your video/pix!

Have a blessed PINK Week!

You are a great hula hooper!!! I hula a mean hoop myself but I haven't got the nerve to share.:) Your hubby is one lucky man. I know you keep his life interesting!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you go girl! I never could get the hang of hula hoop myself,
ReplyDeletebut I love your post.
Happy PS.
Vickie
too cute! The best Pink Saturday post ever!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it!! What fun! I don't have one will have to look for one ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Hugs, Lisa
You hula good!!!!! I can't make it go round two times. That is why you are so slim.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteWE are kindred spirits!!! I recently bought a Hula Hoop for me and a smaller one for my gr. girl (4). Hers is still too big for her...but mine is the right size. I keep it leaning against the wall in the hall and every so often I crank it up! I'm not nearly as good as you...but I'm working on it.:) Something else that's really a challenge for me is jumping rope! I was never great at it as a kid....but my aerobics teacher (who's only in her early 30s) throws in a jump rope challenge every so often. Last Fri. I was FINALLY able to jump fast (not slow hopping or one foot at a time)....but really quickly jump....without tangling up in the rope...we went from 30 sec. to 45 sec to one minute!! I was thrilled! Of course, my heart was beating really, really fast when I finished the min. jump, but I was so proud of myself for finally getting the hang of it....at the tender age of almost 63! :) SO now that I have you as a Hula Hoop partner...maybe those former childhood skills will return!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your fun, fun Pink Sat. Post!! dana
